They look awesome 😎! If you’ve ordered anything and you’re going to be at Warby’s Wye Valley or Andy’s Cornwall meets, let me know and I’ll bring them down (otherwise hang fire and I’ll be in touch next week to arrange delivery or collection). PS I’ve got a few spare Ts and Vests so get them before they’re gone. Cheers, Dom

These were left at High Moss. If you recognise anything or know who it belongs to then get in touch and we will try to unite it with it’s owner. A good quality tan coloured bath towel. An off white ladies cardigan made by Gap. A blue stuff sac. A ladies swimming costume. A pair of black gaiters. A bike track pump made by Fastrax

Hi all, if anyone is going up to craigallan in the near future and would be able to collect and bring back a camping mat left behind by someone in our team from a recent visit please, it would be much appreciated! I’m Sheffield based, but can arrange to collect from elsewhere in/near the peak, or happy to arrange/pay for postage, and a donation to Mountain Rescue! Many thanks in advance, Chris Pembroke

The Wednesday Walk 7 June will be from Beudy at 10am as follows: Beudy, Nant Peris, Elidir Fawr, Carnedd y Filiast, Foel-goch, Y Garn, Llyn y Cwm, Beudy – 9.5 miles 4200ft. Hope to see you there, some of us will be staying on at Beudy. Gary

Just a thought – if anyone is going to climb any of the routes done on the opening meet in 1948, please consider doing it for ‘Everest for Elsie’ and donating a bit of cash. I don’t know how to do links and things but I’m sure you’ll get there. Thanks.

A bit of an update. At present, all the bunks in the hut have been taken and, if everyone turns up who has said they want to attend the anniversary meal on Saturday, there will be 23! Granville will be cooking and we’ve gone for a typical 1940s menu. If you are coming, don’t forget any other provisions, drinks and a pillow! The forecast is looking good, which prompts me to suggest that if any climbers want to repeat the routes done on the 1948 weekend, they need to do Trilon and Crackstone Rib on the Wastad, Nea and the ‘Great Flake’ (now the first pitch of Sickle)on the Grochan, Spiral Stairs, Tributary Crack (up and down) and Parchment Passage (down) on the Cromlech, The Cracks on the Mot, Gambit Climb on Clogwyn y Ddysgl and Avalanche/Red Wall/Longlands and Paradise on Lliwedd. Phew – there’s a challenge! Whilst no walks were recorded in the log book that weekend, I cannot believe that such an occasion would not be marked without forays over into Ogwen and across to Yr Wyddfa.

A quick reminder that its Everest for Elsie this weekend and there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs and a great weather forecast for climbing, running, cycling or even caving some metres. https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/premier_posts/everest_for_elsie_do_some_up_get_sponsors_maybe_win_totem_cams-758145  

Just a heads up. The Pass will be closed between 0830 and 1215 on Saturday 10th June between the big car park near the Vaynol and the Pen y Gwryd junction. Its for the Slateman Triathlon.

Steve Gregory and I are thinking about splitting the main dormitory at Beudy into two separate bedrooms. Various reasons have prompted this (reduced usage by large groups particularly since Covid, wanting to attract people who feel more comfortable in a more private space (including families) and the ability to offer separate male/female rooms where appropriate). The positive reaction to the work done with the bedrooms at High Moss has also led us to think it would be a good move. Before we get into the detail we thought we’d ask you for your thoughts. So that we don’t clog up the website, please send me an email (billdeakin@yahoo.com) if you have any. Thanks
